Southwestern Power Administration Fund Establishment Act
This bill establishes a single "Southwestern Power Administration Fund" in the U.S. Treasury to consolidate existing unspent funds from multiple accounts managed by the Southwestern Power Administration (a federal agency). It combines unexpended balances from previous appropriations (like those from 2005 and 2010) into one centralized account. The fund will be used exclusively for the agency’s operational needs, including maintaining power transmission lines, marketing electricity, and constructing related infrastructure, without changing electricity rates or public access. The bill is purely procedural, streamlining fund management for the agency itself with no direct impact on consumers or new policy changes.
